clothes, this way we can cultivate together..."Sikushenghuyummed and said, "As a teacher, I was unaware...that you actually disliked doing those intimate things with me."Ning Shu widened her eyes sli..."Senior Brother Xue," several people showed anxious expressions.

If that beast noticed them, they were done for!

Xue Zi Jiu looked enviously at the pouch in the young man's eyes, he didn't expect the Divine Venerable to be so good to this kid! Even a top-grade spirit artifact was given! It's really a waste of talent!

If the Divine Being favors him as his disciple...

Xue Zi Jiu gritted her teeth and turned around: "Let's go!"

Even so, the other party will soon be buried in this secret realm!

Ning Shu took a sharp breath when she saw the monstrous creature. Her scalp tingled, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. The top-grade spiritual artifact, upon appearing, successfully repelled the beast before them.

The boy could only keep retreating.

Ning Shu didn't know how long the items in his storage bag could hold out. His face was pale, and he never expected that Xue Zi Jiu and the others were so vicious. They actually wanted him to die here.

I couldn't help but purse my lips.

Ning Shu suddenly remembered, when they entered the secret realm... The sect sent an urgent talisman, he couldn't help but reach for his waist. But it was empty.

He recalled just now, it must have been one of those people who stole it.

Ning Shu could only suppress the fear in her heart and focus all her attention on dealing with the ferocious beast before her. The beast probably also knew that she had a powerful treasure in her hand, but it was cunning and elusive. Its two copper bell-like eyes seemed to be like human ones.

The youth tumbled clumsily backward.

Seeing its sneak attack succeed, the beast couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. It raised a paw, about to crush the man into a paste, when suddenly, there was a clanging sound of sword cries as something pierced the sky and descended.

Ning Shu originally thought she was about to die here, but then she saw a figure fall in front of her.

The young boy wore a snow-white coat, his body radiating frost and snow. He held a long sword in his hand. His gaze swept over to the ferocious beast and calmly said, "It's just a beast."

Ning Shu's expression contorted in astonishment.

< Cangming>

How could the other party be here

Cang Ming turned around, his gaze falling down. His handsome face was expressionless, his eyes shallow.

Ning Shu pursed her lips and took a step back.

The ferocious beast seemed to understand the boy's words, enraged and let out a deafening roar that shook the very heavens. The ground trembled violently, but Cang Ming stood firm, unmoved.

But the sword qi in his hand had already risen.

Ning Shu stared a little dazedly at Cang Ming's figure as he was entangled with the ferocious beast, her heart involuntarily tightened. That Xue Zi Jiu was so afraid of this beast, it probably wasn't easy to deal with.

But his worry seemed to be unfounded.

Although the beast looked somewhat formidable, Cang Ming seemed to have lost his patience.

The expression in her eyes was cold and arrogant, devoid of warmth or desire.

Ning Shu licked her lips, her heart pounding. Especially when the fierce beast trapped the young man's figure, her throat tightened with anxiety.

Cang Ming frowned.

The suppression of the secret realm hindered his cultivation, making his movements sluggish. However, dealing with a ferocious beast was still more than enough for him. He expressionlessly dug out the beast's demon core, not a single drop of blood staining his hands.

Then he walked up to the boy and lowered his eyes, saying, “How useful is this monster’s demon pill”

Ning Shu was still a little shaken. He looked at the bright red demonic pill in front of him, his lips pale as he shook his head and said, "Even if I took it, it would be useless. You take it."

He heard that some monsters would devour the spirit pills of their own kind to enhance their cultivation.

Cang Ming glanced at him, without speaking. But he raised his hand and crushed the ferocious beast's demon pill.

Ning Shu couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, a little frustrated: "Why would you do that...."

"I wouldn't be of much use with it, and in the wrong hands it would only cause harm. It's just a golden core stage demon pill. If you change your mind, I have something even better."

He finished speaking and stared at the slightly pale face of the person before him.

Ning Shu noticed Cang Ming's gaze, but found it a bit strange. Looking at the expression on his face, he seemed to have forgotten what happened that night.

He bit his lip involuntarily. Cang Ming had forgotten, but he remembered it very clearly.

"Well, things are a bit awkward right now, and it's hard for me to bring it up. I can only pretend to be clueless and say: 'Thanks for helping me out earlier, Cang Ming. What brings you to the secret realm' "

Cang Ming did not answer his words, only lifting his eyes. He looked around and said, "While it's not yet dark, let's find a new way out."

Ning Shu didn't speak.

He trailed behind the youth, watching his snow-white garments. He felt that the aura surrounding the other was incredibly cold, even colder than last time.

The two walked along the path, and they encountered several fellow disciples along the way.

But both sides were wary of each other.

To be precise, those disciples didn't recognize Cang Ming as one of the outstanding disciples of the sect. Seeing him with a cold demeanor, wielding a sword, and giving off an unfriendly vibe, they automatically avoided him.

In the secret realm, whichever disciple performs the best will receive the sect's reward this time.

Although Ning Shu also wanted to win, he didn't perform well today. Instead, he almost lost his life and felt distracted all the way.

Cang Ming stopped and turned to say, "Do you want to be one of the top picks in the sect's selection"

Ning Shu didn't know how he had figured it out, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know"

Cang Ming's light, cool eyes stared at him. "It's written all over your face." He said again, "Since you are already a disciple of Shen Wuzun, why are you so desperate Is he not good to you"

Ning Shu heard this and felt a little strange.

Cang Ming had always only called his master by his given name. Why did he suddenly start calling him "Master" today He didn't think much about it, just pursed his lips and said, "Of course, I don't want to disappoint Master."

"How do you know he'll be disappointed in you"

Cang Ming lowered his head and said to the person, "If he only wants you to cultivate peacefully, then you don't have to worry about anything else"

Ning Shu was taken aback and said, "How do you know that your master isn't hoping for me to become a good disciple"

Cang Ming just looked at him, without a word.

Ning Shu didn't want to talk about it with him. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Since it's not dark yet, let's find a place quickly. If someone else takes it, we won't have a place to stay tonight."

....

Ning Shu was right as always, they had fallen behind by a large margin and many places already had disciples settling down.

Finally, they could only find a secluded cave in the mountains.

After walking all day, Ning Shu only felt tired and sleepy, with a bit of hunger in his stomach. He had just started cultivating and hadn't reached the stage of eating nothing.

Instead, Cang Ming seemed to know he would be hungry.

He stood up and said, "What do you want to eat"

Ning Shu also wanted to go out with him, but Cang Ming just said he would be back soon. He had to make a fire in the cave, and after a while, the other party came back, bringing back a rabbit.

The rabbit was still alive, but under Cang Ming's hand, it trembled and dared not move.

It looks adorable.

Ning Shu couldn't help but glance at it, feeling a strange sense of pity. Especially when the rabbit landed in his hand, its two eyes looked up at him pitifully.

The boy stroked its fur and suddenly said, “Maybe we shouldn’t eat it.”

The blazing Cang Ming raised his face, his expression indifferent: "Why"

Ning Shu's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't bring herself to admit that she had softened. She bit her lip awkwardly and replied, "I don't like eating rabbit meat."

Cang Ming looked out.

The snow-white rabbit sat docilely in the boy's arms, as if sensing his kindness. Though it was not yet sentient, its instincts told it to trust this human.

And the young boy held the rabbit in both hands, looking at himself with two clear and soft eyes. Big and small, they were unbelievably alike.

He stared for a while, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Then let him go. I'll catch others."

Ning Shu nodded slightly, seeing that the young man seemed to have forgotten the awkwardness of that night. Besides, the other party had saved her life, and she felt petty instead. She couldn't help but say, " ... Cang Ming, I apologize for my offense that night."

He moved his lips, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's still be friends from now on."

Cang Ming remained silent, merely staring fixedly at the person. His expression was placid: "What happened that night Why are you apologizing to me"

This time, Ning Shu was speechless.

His cheeks flushed, and he averted his gaze awkwardly, pretending the other person didn't want to bring up what had happened the night before. He pursed his lips.

But he didn't see the moment Cang Ming's eyes, which had subtly turned cold, shifted.

...

Cangming went out again and exchanged the rabbit for other spiritual meat.

The rabbit was let go, but for some reason, it kept hovering around the entrance of the hole, munching on the tender green grass there and never leaving.

The aroma of the roasted meat wafted over.

The meat was roasted to perfection, and Ning Shu felt full after eating just a little. However, Cang Ming didn't touch it at all.

The boy sat opposite him, staring.

Ning Shu only felt a little strange, seeing his gaze fall on her lips. She then realized what it was and couldn't help but raise her hand to gently wipe her lips.

He felt that Cang Ming's personality seemed to have become colder. When he accidentally bumped into him just now, the other person was full of coldness.

Ning Shu didn't think much, he just sat there.

But he noticed something crawling up his arm, and his face changed.

Instinctively, he threw that thing away.

Just as the object was flung, it landed conveniently in Cang Ming's arms.

The soft snake bit the boy's arm.

Cang Ming lowered his eyes and split the snake in two with a single sword strike.

The snake fell to the ground, motionless and dead. But on his arm, a little blood oozed out, staining his snow-white shirt with two tiny blood holes.

Ning Shu: “........”

The scene was quite awkward for a while.

Even Ning Shu herself felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her, from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.me over. Do you need to call the police" "Don't call the police" 。The blood trickled down the boy's head, Ning Shu saw that although he was a mess 。But her aura was undeniable. The other party raise...
